Bellator 99 weigh-in results: Featherweight tourney fighters set

Bellator MMA’s Season 9 featherweight tourney fighters are all on weight for Friday’s Bellator 99 event.

The eight tournament participants on the card, including headliners Patricio “Pitbull” Freire and Diego Nunes, were among the 20 fighters who successfully made weight for their Bellator 99 bouts at today’s ceromony.

Bellator 99 takes place at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Tournament fighters Akop Stepanyan and Justin Wilcox each missed the mark on their first trip to the scale but were given additional time to shed weight and were successful on their second attempt.

All eight featherweights are gunning for a tournament win, a hefty bonus check and a shot at the Bellator MMA featherweight title, currently held by Pat Curran.
